A while back in November 2014, I started getting low on Cigar filler and wrapper, I started rolling my 2nds. I found a ½ pound bag of the Paraguay Flojo Viso (African seed) while doing my spring clean of my closet where I store all my tobacco. Consisting of whatever I had left over from WLT, and some leaf I picked up from BigBohnner, I started cranking out mixed blends of this and that. After that, I threw them in my back up Humidor, and let them sit.
I honestly didn't think that letting these seconds would turn out to be anything more than a 3 star yard 'gar, but they do come in handy when you're not too picky. They're still better than sticks I've waisted my money on in the past that went for $2 to $5 a stick.
Fast forward to February, 2015. I've already rolled a ton of my favorite cigars in January, minus the Wrapper, which I'll order here soon.
Sooo, wanting something "different", I grabbed for one with this label:
Paraguay Wrapper
(no binder listed, but I only had Ct. Broadleaf and One Sucker)
One Sucker filler ½
Nic. Hab. Seco ½
1 leaf Nic. Habano Viso (must have been my last leaf)
1 leaf Dark Air from WLT
So, I fired this 60 rg. baby up. Not bad, not bad, then oh! This has a good taste, then Wow! This tastes great! It had a subtle hint of wood and pepper, along with nuances of raisins similar to a A. Fuente, and a slight tartness that reminds me of yogurt. Then the Nic. Habano Seco Woody/earthiness kicked in along with the Dark Air for a nice Nicotine kick! No way I was putting this down half way through! All the flavors married wonderfully, and I was shocked!
I took it to the nub, with no aftertaste except yummy goodness through and through.
Now, I'm wondering how to repeat this without the Flojo Viso???
